‘Not a cultural pride...’:

Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri took to X to reveal that on Sunday night, an errant rocket landed on his balcony and his sofa caught fire. However, due to the fire-resistant fabric, no serious accident took place. Agnihotri also mentioned the multiple fire incidents in Mumbai and wrote that he hopes that authorities will investigate them. His reaction came after Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde shared a video requesting people to be careful while bursting crackers.

The Bengal Files director wrote, “Last night, our balcony sofa caught fire after being hit by an errant rocket. Thankfully, our dogs alerted us in time, and the fire-resistant fabric helped prevent a potentially serious accident. We had always feared something like this could happen. This time, we were lucky but what about other victims? Who doesn’t love celebrating Diwali?”
